Saving this.

Isn’t 3 factorial equal to 6??

Yeah that’s a good point.
If gaming grew and the total userbase is the same now, then it’s smaller by percentage.
That must been that PC is just exploding in popularity over the time period in question.

i saw it as maga kicking everyone else because they are gonna fall too lol

That’s true the constant rate I mentioned would vary with the surface area of the black hole as it changes but the volume would increase exponentially faster
- Comment on That explains a lot 5 weeks ago:
I know a little bit but I’m not an expert.
My understanding is hawking radiation will produce a rate of mass evaporating that’s fairly consistent over galactic time scales, so you just need to make sure the black hole is big enough to “suck” more mass in via gravitational attraction per given time period than evaporates through hawking radiation.

But why did I pronounce it courier instead of courier

He does important work to keep railroads working I imagine then! I believe those are the tensioners for high voltage lines over trans and railways
- Comment on Solar modules now selling for less than €0.06/W in Europe 4 months ago:
I agree, but off grid solar requires a lot more panels and personal infrastructure owned by the customer than grid tied solar. and a storage solution for night time and winter and cloudy days.
A typical house isn’t going off grid and maintaining a worry free electric schedule without a minimum of 25,000$ of panels, mounts, inverters, batteries, BMS, cabling, installation, and permits.
To be fair, the cost is still less than the amount of time the system will last so economically is can be viable but who has 25,000$ just sitting around…you have to be able to install it yourself to save enough money to really even think about doing it.
I am on your side, but we should be focusing on storage technology right now because solar is honestly really advanced at this point. Once those technologies can work together all the arguments against solar that make sense disappear.
- Comment on Solar modules now selling for less than €0.06/W in Europe 4 months ago:
Because grid level power delivery is about FAR more than just raw wattage numbers. Momentum of spinning turbines is extremely important to the grid. The grid relies on generation equipment maintaing an AC frequency of 60 hz or 50hz or whatever a country decides on. Changing loads throughout the day literally and a resistance to the entire grid and it can drag the frequency down.
reliable consistent power delivery is absolutely critical when it comes to running the grid effectively and that is something that solar and wind are bad at
Ideally we will be able to use those technologies to fill grid level storage to supply 100% of our energy needs in the not to distant future but until then we desperately need large, consistent, clean power generation.

That awesome, gonna add them to my list. I’m doing we are legion, we are Bob right now. 5th book just came out

Wait…there’s 3 books? Where in the books does the movie leave off??

Ornithologist then?

If you have water you have hydrogen.
there’s no reason to transport hydrogen if they build infrastructure to use it as a fuel they will build a process to make it on site
- Comment on Know thy enemy 5 months ago:
I swear every time I see an argument like that one, if they zoomed out and considered a system in total instead of one process they would see that it’s bullshit
Either they are naive or arguing in bad faith…

This is a great take

- Comment on YSK that United has significantly escalated their war against basic economy passengers 5 months ago:
It was such a ludicrous satire at the time and now it’s just moderately hyperbolic

Is this an ancient 4chan pasta?
- Comment on TSMC execs allegedly dismissed Sam Altman as ‘podcasting bro’ — OpenAI CEO made absurd requests for 36 fabs for $7 trillion 6 months ago:
I feel the same way man, I’m so excited about this tech because of the few use cases that we will discover and will change our lives and cause a paradigm shift…but it will be controlled by someone who is ultra rich (a person or corp) so that’s awful. And there is a ton of stuff that is a grift that will die off and gives it a bad name so I temper my excitement of it around most people because it’s unpopular to root for the tech.

He’s the best for unbiased info when new models drop and news drops. Love that channel.
